トランプトランプ大統領だいとうりょう“来月らいげつから一部いちぶの輸入ゆにゅう医薬品いやくひんに100ひゃく％パーセントの関税かんぜい”

President Trump of the United States has announced that a 100% tariff will be imposed on certain imported pharmaceuticals starting next month.

If a company is, for example, proceeding with the construction of a factory in the United States, tariffs will not be imposed. This seems to be aimed at encouraging companies to strengthen domestic production within the U.S.

President Trump announced in a post on his social media on the 25th that a 100% tariff will be imposed on imported pharmaceuticals starting from the 1st of next month.

The targets for tariffs are said to be branded drugs and patent-protected drugs, and American media are reporting that low-priced generics may be excluded.

Also, President Trump indicated that he would not impose tariffs in cases where companies are building pharmaceutical factories within the United States.

As President Trump, it appears that the aim is to encourage stronger domestic production in the United States through tariff measures, but depending on the scope of the tariffs, there is a risk that it could lead to higher prices for pharmaceuticals within the country.

In another social media post, President Trump also announced that a 25% tariff will be imposed on imported large trucks, a 50% tariff on kitchen shelves and washstands, and a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture, all starting from the first of next month.

They argue that it is necessary to protect domestic production processes from unfair competition, and if actually implemented, the range of products subject to tariff measures under the Trump administration would be further expanded.

Fukuoka Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare: We will thoroughly examine the impact and respond appropriately. At a press conference after the cabinet meeting, Minister Fukuoka said, I am aware of the post, but since the specific details of the measures are not clear, it is difficult to answer with any assumptions about the impact.

As soon as we understand the specific details, we would like to respond appropriately in cooperation with the relevant ministries and agencies, while thoroughly examining the impact on our country.
